Digital Shop-in-shop

Whenever you visit an online retailer and start looking for a particular product all the products from the search result look the same. If you really want to know more about the brand you want to buy you visit the corporate website, discover the product, go back to the retailer and buy it.

Not anymore, with our digital Shop-in-shop solution. We add branding and tell the brands story at the place where people actually buy the product. Instead of the same old search results the user lands on the corporate branded Shop-in-shop, can learn about the brand, about their categorisation and if desired do the purchase. Our solution is 100% scalable and requires very little maintenance by the reseller. Once it’s implemented you can easily update your (global) shop-in-shops for all online retailers with the push of a button.

We're proud to say this solution is currently running among the worlds biggest retailers including: John Lewis, MediaMarkt, Saturn, Argos, Best Buy and Curries.

Where to buy

Our Where to buy solution connects brands with retailers, allowing customers to purchase products from wherever they are.

Consumers can purchase your products from their preferred retailer straight from your website or through campaigns. We track the customer journey to the point of sale – from your website or digital touch points in a multi-channel campaign. Brands using our Where to buy solution are currently experiencing an average 8% conversion rate, with some verticals as high as 20%.

Retail retargeting display

With so many developments in the world of display advertising we help you to create long-term display advertising strategies, realise them and maintain them. Real-time bidding and dynamic display ads allow brands to build up better target audiences, create ‘smart’ and dynamic ads and optimise your retargeting to spend your media budget wisely.

Review sampling program

Imagine yourself buying a new audio system…

Would you make a purchase, because the ad promises it’s everything you’ve always wanted? Or would you first google your brains out to read what other people have to say about this product? Ratings and reviews are proven to be the number one influencers on increasing sales and building brand loyalty. The more people have reviewed a product in a positive way, the more likely you are going to buy it.

That’s how it works nowadays. And that’s the game we play. We generate honest consumer reviews about any product on any relevant website. By growing our own community of reviewers, we always find the right people to test and review your product. Real people, who just love trying out the newest products and sharing their opinion online. No fee, no manipulation, just fun and honest.
